[Dltk-dev] Re: How to create a custom view to the debug view?
Dmitriy Kovalev,
Thank you very much for your advice.
There is another thing I am worrying about.
 
Here is the situation, we want to debug users' script which is written in Tcl, and we realize our debugger in Java, right?
When I refresh CustomObjectView, I got the business objects and relations through the java API of our business logic.
It is like this:
 System.loadLibrary("sJava");
sObjects = sJava.sGet(root, new StringVector());
and then I can construct the object tree recursively.
Dltk run users' Tcl script by creating a new thread to run the tcl interpreter, right? The above code getting bussiness objects runs in the main thread.
I am wondering, if the main thread can get the objects created in the thread that interpreter running?
 
After I read your mail, especially the IScriptEvaluationEngine part, I think there might be another solution do not need the java API to get objects. As you said I can execute tcl code, say test::get all, and return it as IScriptValue. And then use this instance of IScriptValue to construct the object tree, right? Does this support structed data? And is this solution feasible?
 
Please give some comments on these two solutions. Thanks again.
 
Best regards,
Joy

Hello,

This link http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/debug/documents.php is a good
source of Eclipse debugger documentation. Presentations of two last
EclipseConfs (with source examples) are very useful and explain
practically all parts of Eclipse debug infrastructure with many details.

Eclipse has a common model of debug objects (threads, stack frames and
etc.). Our debug model extends Eclipse model and implements many script
language specific things using DBGP protocol. The main interfaces are:
IScriptThread, IScriptStackFrame, IScriptVariable, IScriptValue. See the
source code for more information.

I think your problem can be solved in the following way. The first thing
you should investigate is the IDebugEventSetListener. Your class may
implement this interface to listen debug events (class DebugEvent).
These events give a complete information about debugging process: when
debugger
suspends, why it suspends (end of step or breakpoint) and etc.
DebugEvent has a good javadoc, read it first. So, you can  detect the
moment when your view should be shown.

Adding information about objects is more complex but realizable task. I
think you should use IScriptEvaluationEngine. This interface allow you
to execute any code (in this case Tcl code) in the application thread
and obtain results as instance of IScriptValue. Evaluation engine
interface can be requested through IScriptThread (method
getEvaluationEgine). Instance of IScriptThread  can be simply extracted
from DebugEvent.

This is a short outline of possible solution. Please, ask additional
questions for more information.
